lOus to have It ended one way or the

O'Clock SO far as he was concerned he

try them whenever lawyers were ready.
Mr.. Preston still insisted that Hon

could not ar a Just judge force Nh
Mullen to trial and he unprepared. by
common consent then the charges against
t Hon. George d. Wise and Mr William
II. Mullen were postponed until Satur
dav, November 18th, at O'Clock, when
